Connecting Disk Drives to SATA RAID Controllers 1 Install your SATA disk drives, following the instructions in your system's documentation. There are no jumpers or switches to set on the SATA controller or disk drives. 2 Connect each disk drive to a SATA port on the controller using a recommended SATA cable. For cable information, see About Your RAID Controller on page 15. 3 When all internal disk drives have been installed and connected, close your computer cabinet, and reattach the power cord. Continue by either setting the boot controller (see page 43) or by installing the controller driver on an existing operating system (see page 55), depending on the type of installation you are completing. Connecting Disk Drives to SCSI RAID Controllers 1 For each controller channel, set the SCSI ID of each disk drive to a unique number between 0 and 15. The controller is set to ID 7 by default. Although not recommended, you can change the controller ID by using the ARC utility (see page 84). Note: Do not change the controller ID unless absolutely necessary.
